Kiddy review

United came away from Aggborough with a point after a goalless draw last night in Kidderminster. Mark Wright made the one enforced change from Saturday's line-up, bringing in Manny Omoyinmi for the injured Andy Scott. None of the five substitutes were called upon as United made enough chances to win the game but were unable to get past Kiddy 'keeper Stuart Brock.

The official attendance was 2,663 although it looked like a lot more than that were in the cash-strapped club's ground, including a healthy contingent of almost 800 United supporters. Referee Graham Salisbury booked Wayne Hatswell for a two-footed challenge. A match report can be found here.United remain eleventh in the table, going above Halifax who lost 2-0 at Rochdale, but being leapfrogged by Southend, who beat Carlisle 3-2, their first goal scored by the one and only Phil Whelan. Nigel Jemson scored in the first minute for Shrewsbury and added a penalty as they drew 3-3 at Swansea. Luton went top of Division 3 after they beat Orient 3-1 at Brisbane Road, including goals from former United youth teamer Matt Taylor and alleged United target Steven Howard. Exeter remain bottom despite getting a point in a 1-1 draw at home to Rushden & Diamonds. In Division Two Andy Thomson scored both QPR's goals in their 2-1 win over Cardiff.

Minor striker

It would appear that the deal to bring Drewe Broughton to Oxford has still stalled. Allegedly United, Kidderminster and Broughton had everything agreed and ready to sign until the player's agent intervened and upped the ante. Meanwhile Rage On can reveal that a mystery player was seen being shown around town by a club official. All we can say is that the player is of foreign origin, but based over here, and has been linked with United before. This is not a rumour, but as nothing has been signed there is no guarantee that the player will be joining United. Confidentiality means that we are unable to reveal the player's identity.
